This game helps students to improve their knowledge on pronouns. They are given 10 multiple choice questions, If they have chosen incorrect option they have to try again. I used this game as a follow up activity as a part of their homework (after explainig the pronouns in the class). They told me they liked it and they even noted that this game helped them to understand the usage of pronouns better.

An advanced level activity, which teaches set expressions on the above mentioned topic. Teaching is content based: guessing the meanings from the video stuff, then reinforcing them with the help of multiple choice activity. I tried it with my sister, and the result was pretty good. After watching the video, she wrote a composition using all the set expressions in the video. She used all of them correctly.

I tried this site for testing myself and found it an easy and useful task. It has 3 levels of difficulty.It's a suitable task for intermediate and advanced students.

This is a wonderful activity for developing students' listening, reading (skimming and scanning), speaking skills, as well as increasing vocabulary. it contains variety of activities which are based on the listening. Moreover, all the activities can be done both online and on paper (all materials are printable including the transcript of the audio). It contains a pre-watching vocabulary activity the story a comprehension activity a language activity about idioms I used this material with my two intermediate students. Though the level was lower I have decided to try. In order to help them I wrote down the words/expression that they might be unknown and discussed them before listening. Then they listened to the audio but still had difficulties to understand completely what the audio was mainly about. In order to solve the misunderstanding I have decided to give the transcripts to read while listening (It helped much to understand). I used the third activity to check whether they could scan and skim the information (they could as I guess reading helped them very much). The last activity was a multiple choice activity where the students should look at the given idioms and choose the best meaning. Suggestion- If your students are not high intermediate/advanced the process will be slowed down. Just use transcript and after listening discuss the text. It will help.

This is a very nice activity for ESL beginners to practice their knowledge.It gives multiple choice questions and also allows the learner to make direct connections between the definitions and real life relatives. I tried it out with my niece who heard most of the answers for the first time. Through this game she remembered most of the new words as they were given in a simple and clear way. I would advise everybody to pilot this game with beginner students.
